Si el adhesivo (el pegamento) se separa/se suelta
Quiere decir que la consistencia del pegamento se hace mas suelta (porque ya ha pasado una cantidad de tiempo y ya no pega bien; por eso hay que retirarlo y volver a empezar).

sobresale
Si bien "skim over" significa "a ras" lo que es la condici¢n deseada del pegamento, parece que el autor se refiere a que el adhesivo queda "over" sobre "skim" el ras, es decir, sobresale. Adem s esta ser¡a la £nica condici¢n l¢gica por la que ser¡a necesario retirar el adhesivo y volver a empezar.
